Description
Grant interviews Nick Holliday (18:07), the 15-year-old goalkeeper for North Carolina FC of USL League One, who recently signed his first pro contract. Holliday is from a sports family: His father, Corey, caught two passes in Super Bowl XXX for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his brother, Chris, is a defensive back at the University of North Carolina. Nick explains why he decided to go with soccer instead of football or lacrosse (he liked soccer, and he didn’t want a helmet to mess up his hair) and details what it has been like this season playing with adult men in a professional league. Before that, Grant and Chris dive into the latest FIFA proposal for once-every-two-years World Cups and break down Wednesday’s Champions League games, including Man United’s 3-2 come-from-behind win over Atalanta. In Segment 3, they talk about the headliners of Tuesday’s Champions League games, including Liverpool’s 3-2 win at Atlético Madrid.
